Hi all Steemians,
Just don't know yet how to post things on Steemit. But let's start with something easy. Experience will let me learn more and more ;)
My breakfast this morning on a Saturday, yes it's weekend! I took the time to make American pancake. But gave it an Asian twist on it. I made an American pandan pancake. You can see it by the color, it's green!! :) I love the smell and taste of pandan leaves!
The taste of the American pandan pancake was very delicious, maybe i'm going to make it as a desert with coconut icecream for the next time :)
Pandan leaves is some plant that mostly grow in southern Asia and usually grow wild on your garden. In some country such as Indonesia, pandan leaf is one of the needed ingredient to make traditional or even daily food so that it can taste more delicious. It’s fragrant smell good and rise your appetite.
In Cambodia we use it mostly for the color, the great taste and scent when making deserts. Next time i will post some about Khmer deserts with pandan leaves :)
I think most of us knows Pandan leaves. If not, see my pics.
You can buy pandan leaves at every Asian store.
Not only delicious to eat, pandan leaf is actually great for your health. It contains essential nutrients which can prevent various diseases or even get rid of it. To make it as a natural traditional cure you can make some extract drink or make it as a tea.
